Security & Resilience Review
Has your homelab, private cloud, or small-business infrastructure grown into something you depend on every day? I can review it before a small mistake becomes a serious incident.
Most reviews are completed remotely within two weeks. You provide a short system overview and selected configuration details, followed by a 90-minute technical session. The written report is normally delivered within five business days after that session.
The review is a focused, fixed-scope engagement covering the areas that matter most in practice:
- external exposure and remote access
- identity, permissions, and network separation
- updates, hardening, and monitoring
- backups, restoration, and disaster recovery
- self-hosted services, containers, and open-source components
What you receive
- a structured review of the agreed scope
- prioritised findings with practical explanations
- a written report and recommended next steps
- a realistic 30/60/90-day improvement plan
- a follow-up conversation to discuss the results
Pilot reviews start at €590 for one environment with up to five critical services. Larger or multi-site environments receive a fixed quote before the review begins. Request a Security & Resilience Review and briefly describe your setup and what you want to protect.

Security Engineering Sprint
If the review identifies concrete work, I can help implement the improvements in a clearly defined project. Typical examples include:
- secure VPN and remote-access architecture
- network segmentation and intrusion detection
- backup and recovery design
- hardening of Linux, Docker, and self-hosted services
- automation of repetitive maintenance and security tasks
- applying relevant research results to production systems
The scope, deliverables, and price are agreed before work begins.
The Security & Resilience Review is not a penetration test, certification, or compliance audit. I do not perform active scanning or access production systems unless this is explicitly agreed in the scope.
Why work with me?
I combine practical experience operating self-hosted services with more than nine years of professional experience in cybersecurity and research. I hold a Dr. rer. nat. in Computer Science from the Technical University of Munich, with research focused on anomaly detection for cyber-physical systems. My work includes security and risk assessments, vulnerability management, cloud and infrastructure hardening, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and open-source systems. I have advised security and team leaders and mentored members of security teams of up to 32 professionals.
The research page lists my publications, while the blog documents how these decisions hold up in real family infrastructure.
Other services
For suitable projects, I also offer security consulting, code analysis, penetration testing, managed security operations, and private hosting of collaboration services such as Jitsi Meet and Matrix. These engagements require an initial discussion so that scope, authorisation, and responsibilities are clear.
With more than nine years of experience in cybersecurity and open-source software, I work from Copenhagen for clients in Denmark, the Nordic countries, the EU, and remotely elsewhere.
How it works
- Initial conversation: We clarify your environment, concerns, and desired outcome.
- Defined scope: You receive a clear description of what will and will not be reviewed.
- Review or sprint: I perform the agreed work and keep you informed.
- Actionable handover: You receive the findings, priorities, and next steps.
